ApplicationStorageDirectory - Best Practice for Games Question

So I've been working on a game which uses AIR. My problem is that I have been storing my game assets in the application directory. That would be fine except that the game has a built-in editor which requires the ability to write files. Adobe has since locked the ApplicationDirectory to write access, so now I'm not sure of where I'm expected to store all of my user editable game files - which is potentially ALL game assets.
The seemingly obvious choice is to use ApplicationStorageDirectory. While not ideal, in that it seems I would need to duplicate all assets from inside the application to the storage directory on startup, it would provide a standard and easy to find place to store editable game assets.
However, this article (on this site) clearly tells me that I should not do that. It makes a good point. Backing up all of the games assets is messy proposition. And while I can see users who take advantage of the editting capabilities as appreciating the backup, for the average player, that would be a pretty big annoyance.
So what am I expected to do in this scenario? I need a writable location where the user and the application can easily access all game assets ( XML, Image, MP3 ). I don't want to pick an arbitrary location, and I'm turned off by the application needing to redundantly house the data just to copy to the destination directory since there's no way for me to delete it once it's copied since I can't write to the application folder.
Thanks for the thoughts.

Hi,
A couple things come to mind. It's actually not Adobe that locks the application directory on Windows, that's a MS permissions thing with folders under Program Files.  But either way, it's still a problem. 
As you mentioned, you could copy files on first launch but depending on the size, this could be annoying after a user just sat through the install.  It's also not very friendly when you want to uninstall.  You might want to consider sub launching the AIR installer from a separate installer which also takes care of installing the game resources to another writable location.  Maybe this is user selectable, but at least it's monitored by the installer which should allow you to uninstall properly.
Would it be possible to keep the resources with your app, but architect the editor such that only user created content would go in a user writable directory (such as a subdirectory off of their documents folder?)

  • Best Practices for NCS/PI Server and Application Monitoring question

    Hello,
    I am deploying a virtual instance of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 (1.2.1.012) on an ESX infrastructure. This is being deployed in an enterprise enviroment. I have questions around the best practices for moniotring this appliance. I am looking to monitor application failures (services down, db issues) and "hardware" (I understand this is a virtual machine, but statistics on the filesystem and CPU/Memory is good).
    Firstly, I have enabled via the CLI the snmp-server and set the SNMP trap host destination. I have created a notification receiver for the SNMP traps inside the NCS GUI and enabled the "System" type alarm. This type includes alarms like NCS_DOWN and PI database is down. I am trying to understand what the difference between enabling SNMP-SERVER HOST via the CLI and setting the Notification destination inthe GUI is? Also how can I generate a NCS_DOWN alarm in my lab. Doing NCS stop does not generate any alarms. I have not been able to find much information on how to generate this as a test.
    Secondly, how and which processes should I be monitoring from the Management Station? I cannot easily identify the main NCS procsses from the output of ps -ef when logged in the shell as root.
    Thanks guys!

    1.) What is the cost of having the scope in a <jsp:useBean> tag set to 'session'? I am aware that there are a list of scopes like page, application, etc. and that if i use 'session' my variable will live for as long as that session is alive. (did i get this right?). You should rather look to the functional requirements instead of costs. If the bean need to be session scoped (e.g. maintain the logged in user), then do it so. If it just need to be request scoped (e.g. single page form data), then keep it request scoped.
    2.)If the JSP Page where i use that <useBean> is to be accessed hundred of times a day, will it compensate my server resources? Right now i am using the Sun Glassfish Server.It will certainly eat resources. Just supply enough CPU speed and memory to a server. You cannot expect that a webserver running at a Pentium 500MHz with 256MB of memory can flawlessly serve 100 simultaneous users at the same second. But you may expect that it can serve 100 users per 24 hour.
    3.) Can you suggest best practice in memory management given the architecture i described above?Just write code so that it doesn't unnecessarily eat memory. Only allocate memory if your application need to do so. You should rather let the hardware depend on the application requirements, not to let the application depend on the hardware specs.
    4.)Also, I have implemented connection pooling in my architecture, but my application is to be used by thousands of clients everyday.. Can the Sun Glassfish Server take care of that or will I have to purchase a powerful sever?Glassfish is just an application server software, it is not server hardware. Your concerns are rather hardware related.

  • Is there a list of best practices for Azure websites?

    Hi all;
    I was talking with a Sql Server expert today and learned that Azure Sql Server can take up to a minute to respond to a query that normally takes a fraction of a second. This is one of those things where it's really valuable to learn it when architecting as
    opposed to when we go live.
    Websites are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Websites? If so, what are they?
    We will be the website in multiple datacenters and using traffic manager to point people to the right one. The website will run as a REST server using Web API 2, mostly for license checks from our app running on corporate Exchange servers. And a small part
    will be for javascript based web pages used for account CRUD.
    thanks - dave
    What we did for the last 6 months -
    Made the world's coolest reporting & docgen system even more amazing

    sorry I was not sure if you were using a web server or what?
    One other idea out of the slow cooker is to use a dedicated web server with SQL server running beside IIS
    If you are using the standard web sites, then the SQL option is about as slow as FTP uploads, very slow
    I have considered time of day too, and it seems Azure is less loaded early in the AM

  • Best-practice for Catalog Views ? :|

    Hello community,
    A best practice question:
    The situtation: I have several product categories (110), several items in those categories (4000) and 300 end-users.    I would like to know which is the best practice for segment the catalog.   I mean, some users should only see categories 10,20 & 30.  Other users only category 80, etc.    The problem is how can I implement this ?
    My first idea is:
    1. Create 110 Procurement Catalogs (1 for every prod.category).   Each catalog should contain only its product category.
    2. Assign in my Org Model, in a user-level all the "catalogs" that the user should access.
    Do you have any idea in order to improve this ?
    Saludos desde Mexico,
    Diego

    Hi,
    Your way of doing will work, but you'll get maintenance issues (to many catalogs, and catalog link to maintain for each user).
    The other way is to built your views in CCM, and assign these views to the users, either on the roles (PFCG) or on the user (SU01). The problem is that with CCM 1.0 this is limitated, cause you'll have to assign one by one the items to each view (no dynamic or mass processes), it has been enhanced in CCM 2.0.
    My advice:
    -Challenge your customer about views, and try to limit the number of views, with for example strategic and non strategic
    -With CCM 1.0 stick to the procurement catalogs, or implement BADIs to assign items to the views (I experienced it, it works, but is quite difficult), but with a limitated number of views
    Good luck.

  • Best Practices For Household IOS's/Apple IDs

    Greetings:
    I've been searching support for best practices for sharing primarily apps, music and video among multple iOS's/Apple IDs.  If there is a specific article please point me to it.
    Here is my situation: 
    We currently have 3 iPads (2-kids, 1-dad) in the household and one iTunes account on a win computer.  I previously had all iPads on single Apple ID/credit card and controlled the kids' downloads thru the Apple ID password that I kept secret.  As the kids have grown older, I found myself constantly entering my password as the kids increased there interest in music/apps/video.  I like this approach because all content was shared...I dislike because I was constantly asked to input password for all downloads.
    So, I recently set up an individual account for them with the allowance feature at iTunes that allows them to download content on their own (I set restrictions on their iPads).  Now I have 3 Apple IDs under one household.
    My questions:
    With the 3 Apple IDs, what is the best way to share apps,music, videos among myself and the kids?  Is it multiple accounts on the computer and some sort of sharing? 
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi Bonesaw1962,
    We've had our staff and students run iOS updates OTA via Settings -> Software Update. In the past, we put a DNS block on Apple's update servers to prevent users from updating iOS (like last fall when iOS 7 was first released). By blocking mesu.apple com, the iPads weren't able to check for or install any iOS software updates. We waited until iOS 7.0.3 was released before we removed the block to mesu.apple.com at which point we told users if they wanted to update to iOS 7 they could do so OTA. We used our MDM to run reports periodically to see how many people updated to iOS 7 and how many stayed on iOS 6. As time went on, just about everyone updated on their own.
    If you go this route (depending on the number of devices you have), you may want to take a look at Caching Server 2 to help with the network load https://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#caching-server . From Apple's website, "When a user on your network downloads new software from Apple, a copy is automatically stored on your server. So the next time other users on your network update or download that same software, they actually access it from inside the network."
    I wish there was a way for MDMs to manage iOS updates, but unfortunately Apple hasn't made this feature available to MDM providers. I've given this feedback to our Apple SE, but haven't heard if it is being considered or not. Keeping fingers crossed.
    Hope this helps. Let us know what you decide on and keep us posted on the progress. Good luck!!

  • Best practice for integrating a 3 point metro-e in to our network.

    Hello,
    We have just started to integrate a new 3 point metro-e wan connection to our main school office. We are moving from point to point T-1?s to 10 MB metro-e. At the main office we have a 50 MB going out to 3 other sites at 10 MB each. For two of the remote sites we have purchase new routers ? which should be straight up configurations. We are having an issue connecting the main office with the 3rd site.
    At the main office we have a Catalyst 4006 and at the 3rd site we are trying to connect to a catalyst 4503.
    I have attached configurations from both the main office and 3rd remote site as well as a basic diagram of how everything physically connects. These configurations are not working ? we feel that it is a gateway type problem ? but have reached no great solutions. We have tried posting to a different forum ? but so far unable to find the a solution that helps.
    The problem I am having is on the remote side. I can reach the remote catalyst from the main site, but I cannot reach the devices on the other side of the remote catalyst however the remote catalyst can see devices on it's side as well as devices at the main site.
    We have also tried trunking the ports on both sides and using encapsulation dot10q ? but when we do this the 3rd site is able to pick up a DHCP address from the main office ? and we do not feel that is correct. But it works ? is this not causing a large broad cast domain?
    If you have any questions or need further configuration data please let me know.
    The previous connection was a T1 connection through a 2620 but this is not compatible with metro-e so we are trying to connect directly through the catalysts.
    The other two connection points will be connecting through cisco routers that are compatible with metro-e so i don't think I'll have problems with those sites.
    Any and all help is greatly welcome ? as this is our 1st metro e project and want to make sure we are following best practices for this type of integration.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Jeff

    Jeff, form your config it seems you main site and remote site are not adjacent in eigrp.
    Try adding a network statement for the 171.0 link and form a neighbourship between main and remote site for the L3 routing to work.
    Upon this you should be able to reach the remote site hosts.

  • BEST PRACTICES FOR CREATING DISCOVERER DATABASE CONNECTION -PUBLIC VS. PRIV

    I have enabled SSO for Discoverer. So when you browse to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer you get prompted for your SSO
    username/password. I have enabled users to create their own private
    connections. I log in as portal and created a private connection. I then from
    Oracle Portal create a portlet and add a discoverer worksheet using the private
    connection that I created as the portal user. This works fine...users access
    the portal they can see the worksheet. When they click the analyze link, the
    users are prompted to enter a password for the private connection. The
    following message is displayed:
    The item you are requesting requires you to enter a password. This could occur because this is a private connection or
    because the public connection password was invalid. Please enter the correct
    password now to continue.
    I originally created a public connection...and then follow the same steps from Oracle portal to create the portlet and display the
    worksheet. Worksheet is displayed properly from Portal, when users click the
    analyze link they are taken to Discoverer Viewer without having to enter a
    password. The problem with this is that when a user browses to
    http://host:port/discoverer/viewer they enter their SSO information and then
    any user with an SSO account can see the public connection...very insecure!
    When private connections are used, no connection information is displayed to
    SSO users when logging into Discoverer Viewer.
    For the very first step, when editing the Worksheet portlet from Portal, I enter the following for Database
    Connections:
    Publisher: I choose either the private or public connection that I created
    Users Logged In: Display same data to all users using connection (Publisher's Connection)
    Users Not Logged In: Do no display data
    My question is what are the best practices for creating Discoverer Database
    Connections.
    Is there a way to create a public connection, but not display it in at http://host:port/discoverer/viewer?
    Can I restrict access to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer to specific SSO users?
    So overall, I want roughly 40 users to have access to my Portal Page Group. I then want to
    display portlets with Discoverer worksheets. Certain worksheets I want to have
    the ability to display the analyze link. When the SSO user clicks on this they
    will be taken to Discoverer Viewer and prompted for no logon information. All
    SSO users will see the same data...there is no need to restrict access based on
    SSO username...1 database user will be set up in either the public or private
    connection.

    You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.
    So that it won't ask for password.
    Another thing is there is an option of entering password or not in ASC in discoverer section, if your version 10.1.2.2. Let me know if you need more information

  • Best practices for office 365 SHARED CALENDAR for whole school / organization

    hi
    we need guidance on best practice for setting up SHARED CALENDAR on Office365 exchange server for entire organization (school)of150 staff.
    Requirements
    + all staff should have read only / reviewer permissions on calendar
    +handful staff should have editor permissions on calendar
    + the calendar should synchronise custom categories and colors
    Current Solution
    at the moment we have found that a shared mailbox is the best solution because;
    - allusers can add the shared mailbox on outlook 2010as additional mailbox as readonly
    - all the categories & colors for the calendarare automatically synchronised because the color categories are stored within this mailbox.
    - you can edit calendar permissions in outlook to allow some users as "editor" of the calendar.Problem with Current Solution
    the problem however is that the users also need to access this...
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Hi Aleksei,
    I think Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online is the feature that you want. This feature makes it possible for you to preserve (store and archive) the contents of deleted mailboxes indefinitely.
    A mailbox becomes inactive when an In-Place Hold or a
    Litigation Hold is placed on the mailbox before the corresponding Office 365 user account is deleted.
    But I'm afraid that it might be impossible to "easily share certain folders or even whole mailbox with people in the company". As can been seen from below articles, this only allows administrators, compliance officers, or records managers
    to use the In-Place eDiscovery feature in Exchange Online to access and search the contents of an inactive mailbox:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/03/21/preserve-mailbox-data-for-ediscovery-using-inactive-mailboxes-in-exchange-online.aspx
    Anyway, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. For more details about your question, I would suggest you post in the dedicated forum of
    Exchange Online, where you can get more experienced responses:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/msonline/en-US/home?forum=onlineservicesexchange
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Networking "best practice" for setting up a farm

    Hi all.
    We would like to set an OracleVM farm, and I have a question about "best practice" for
    configuring the network. Some background:
    - The hardware I have is comprised of machines with 4 gig-eth NICs each.
    - The storage will be coming primarily from a backend NAS appliance (Netapp, FWIW).
    - We have already allocated a separate VLAN for management.
    - We would like to have HA capable VMs using OCFS2 (on top of NFS.)
    I'm trying to decide between 2 possible configurations. The first would keep physical separation
    between the mgt/storage networks and the DomU networks. The second would just trunk
    everything together across all 4 NICs, something like:
    Config 1:
    - eth0 - management/cluster-interconnect
    - eth1 - storage
    - eth2/eth3 => bond0 - 8021q trunked, bonded interfaces for DomUs
    Config 2:
    - eth0/1/2/3 => bond0
    Do people have experience or recommendation about the best configuration?
    I'm attracted to the first option (perhaps naively) because CI/storage would benefit
    from dedicated bandwidth and this configuration might also be more secure.
    Regards,
    Robert.

I know that the high-end Cisco and Juniper switches do support LACP across multiple switches. In the Cisco world, this is called MEC (Multichassis EtherChannel).
    If you're using low-end commodity-grade gear, you'll probably need to use active/passive bonds if you want to span switches. Alternatively, you could use one of the balance algorithms for some bandwitch increase. You'd have to run your own testing to determine which algorithm is best suited for your workload.

  • Best practices for setting up projects

    We recently adopted using Captivate for our WBT modules.
    As a former Flash and Director user, I can say it’s
    fast and does some great things. Doesn’t play so nice with
    others on different occasions, but I’m learning. This forum
    has been a great source for search and read on specific topics.
    I’m trying to understand best practices for using this
    product. We’ve had some problems with file size and
    incorporating audio and video into our projects. Fortunately, the
    forum has helped a lot with that. What I haven’t found a lot
    of information on is good or better ways to set up individual
    files, use multiple files and publish projects. We’ve decided
    to go the route of putting standalones on our Intranet. My gut says
    yuck, but for our situation I have yet to find a better way.
    My question for discussion, then is: what are some best
    practices for setting up individual files, using multiple files and
    publishing projects? Any references or input on this would be
    appreciated.

    Hi,
    Here are some of my suggestions:
    1) Set up a style guide for all your standard slides. Eg.
    Title slide, Index slide, chapter slide, end slide, screen capture,
    non-screen capture, quizzes etc. This makes life a lot easier.
    2) Create your own buttons and captions. The standard ones
    are pretty ordinary, and it's hard to get a slick looking style
    happening with the standard captions. They are pretty easy to
    create (search for add print button to learn how to create
    buttons). There should instructions on how to customise captions
    somewhere on this forum. Customising means that you can also use
    words, symbols, colours unique to your organisation.
    3) Google elearning providers. Most use captivate and will
    allow you to open samples or temporarily view selected modules.
    This will give you great insight on what not to do and some good
    ideas on what works well.
    4) Timings: Using the above research, I got others to
    complete the sample modules to get a feel for timings. The results
    were clear, 10 mins good, 15 mins okay, 20 mins kind of okay, 30
    mins bad, bad, bad. It's truly better to have a learner complete
    2-3 short modules in 30 mins than one big monster. The other
    benefit is that shorter files equal smaller size.
    5) Narration: It's best to narrate each slide individually
    (particularly for screen capture slides). You are more likely to
    get it right on the first take, it's easier to edit and you don't
    have to re-record the whole thing if you need to update it in
    future. To get a slicker effect, use at least two voices: one male,
    one female and use slightly different accents.
    6) Screen capture slides: If you are recording filling out
    long window based databse pages where the compulsory fields are
    marked (eg. with a red asterisk) - you don't need to show how to
    fill out every field. It's much easier for the learner (and you) to
    show how to fill out the first few fields, then fade the screen
    capture out, fade the end of the form in with the instructions on
    what to do next. This will reduce your file size. In one of my
    forms, this meant the removal of about 18 slides!
    7) Auto captions: they are verbose (eg. 'Click on Print
    Button' instead of 'Click Print'; 'Select the Print Preview item'
    instead of 'Select Print Preview'). You have to edit them.
    8) PC training syntax: Buttons and hyperlinks should normally
    be 'click'; selections from drop down boxes or file lists are
    normally 'select': Captivate sometimes mixes them up. Instructions
    should always be written in the correct order: eg. Good: Click
    'File', Select 'Print Preview'; Bad: Select 'Print Preview' from
    the 'File Menu'. Button names, hyperlinks, selections are normally
    written in bold
    9) Instruction syntax: should always be written in an active
    voice: eg. 'Click Options to open the printer menu' instead of
    'When the Options button is clicked on, the printer menu will open'
    10) Break all modules into chapters. Frame each chapter with
    a chapter slide. It's also a good idea to show the Index page
    before each chapter slide with a progress indicator (I use an
    animated arrow to flash next to the name of the next chapter), I
    use a start button rather a 'next' button for the start of each
    chapter. You should always have a module overview with the purpose
    of the course and a summary slide which states what was covered and
    they have complete the module.
    11) Put a transparent click button somewhere on each slide.
    Set the properties of the click box to take the learner back to the
    start of the current chapter by pressing F2. This allows them to
    jump back to the start of their chapter at any time. You can also
    do a similar thing on the index pages which jumps them to another
    chapter.
    12) Recording video capture: best to do it at normal speed
    and be concious of where your mouse is. Minimise your clicks. Most
    people (until they start working with captivate) are sloppy with
    their mouse and you end up with lots of unnecessarily slides that
    you have to delete out. The speed will default to how you recorded
    it and this will reduce the amount of time you spend on changing
    timings.
    13) Captions: My rule of thumb is minimum of 4 seconds - and
    longer depending on the amount of words. Eg. Click 'Print Preview'
    is 4 seconds, a paragraph is longer. If you creating knowledge
    based modules, make the timing long (eg. 2-3 minutes) and put in a
    next button so that the learner can click when they are ready.
    Also, narration means the slides will normally be slightly longer.
    14) Be creative: Capitvate is desk bound. There are some
    learners that just don't respond no matter how interactive
    Captivate can be. Incorporate non-captivate and desk free
    activities. Eg. As part of our OHS module, there is an activity
    where the learner has to print off the floor plan, and then wander
    around the floor marking on th emap key items such as: fire exits;
    first aid kit, broom and mop cupboard, stationary cupboard, etc.
    Good luck!

  • Best Practices for Setting up a Windows 2012 R2 STD Domain Controller in a Remote Site

    So I'm looking for an article or writeup similar to the "Adding Domain Controllers in Remote Sites" TechNet article but for Windows Server 2012 STD R2.  Here is my scenario:
    1.  I want to setup the domain controller at Site A where the primary domain controller is located.  The primary domain controller is Windows Server 2008 R2. 
    2.  Once the DC is setup I plan on leaving it on our network for a few days before shipping it to remote Site B for installation
    Other key items:
    1.  The remote Site B will have a different IP range than Site A but will be connected to Site A via a single VPN tunnel.  All the DCs that replicate with each other are on the same domain. 
    2.  The 2012 DC that I setup for Site B (same domain in same forest) will be a DHCP, DNS, and WSUS server all replicating to the primary DC at Site A
    Questions:
    1.  What items can I setup while it's at Site A without effecting or conflicting with the existing network and domain controller?  Can I setup a scope once the DHCP role is added? 
    2.  All of our DCs replicate through Sites and Services, do I have to manually add this to our primary DC for the new DC going to remote Site B?  Or when does this happen automatically when I promote the DC? 
    All and all I'm just looking for a list of Best Practices for 2012 or a Step by Step Guide.  Any help would be appreciated. 

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting.
    When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.
    For more and detail information, please refer to:
    Best Practices for Adding Domain Controllers in Remote Sites

  • What are the best practices for using the enhancement framework?

    Hello enhancement framework experts,
    Recently, my company upgraded to SAP NW 7.1 EhP6.  This presents us with the capability to use the enhancement framework.
    A couple of senior programmers were asked to deliver a guideline for use of the framework.  They published the following statement:
    "SAP does not guarantee the validity of the enhancement points in future releases/versions. As a result, any implemented enhancement points may require significant work during upgrades. So, enhancement points should essentially be used as an alternative to core modifications, which is a rare scenario.".
    I am looking for confirmation or contradiction to the statement  "SAP does not guarantee the validity of enhancement points in future releases/versions..." .  Is this a true statement for both implicit and explicit enhancement points?
    Is the impact of activated explicit and implicit enhancements much greater to an SAP upgrade than BAdi's and user exits?
    Is there any SAP published guidelines/best practices for use of the enhancement framework?
    Thank you,
    Kimberly

    What is the best practice for using messaging in medium to large cluster In a system where all the clients need to receive all the messages and some of the messages can be really big (a few megabytes and maybe more)

    lots of subscribers, big messages == lots of network traffic.
    it's a wide open question, no?
